FUNGUZZ

“the Fool is untamed, unpredictable, sometimes destructive, arising from pre-creation times, galumphing through life unmindful of past or future, good or evil. always improvising, unmindful of the consequences of his acts, he may be dangerous; his own experiments often blow up in his face or in others’. but because his play is completely free and untrammeled – for fools rush in where angels fear to tread – he is the creator of culture and, in many myths, the creator of the other gods. for the sake of being accepted, we can forget our source of inspiration and put on one of the rigid masks of professionalism or conformity that society is continually offering us. the childlike part of us is the part that, like the Fool, simply does and says, without needing to qualify himself or strut his credentials.”
